The Tigers are not very pleased with the Royals these days. After a series in which the Royals took two of three from the disappointing Tigers, and manager Brad Ausmus questioned whether Royals pitcher Johnny Cueto was delivering the ball illegally, catcher James McCann has accused Royals right-fielder Alex Rios of stealing signs.
McCann said the sign-stealing happened in the ninth inning of Wednesday night's game with the Royals down 7-4. Rios was hit by a pitch and advanced to second, where he allegedly took a peek.
